  • Recommended Pick and Place Tools for Leds from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors
    www.osram.com/os Application Note No. AN037 Recommended pick and place tools for LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Application Note Valid for: all SMT LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Abstract OSRAM Opto Semiconductors SMT devices are developed for assembly by automatic placement machines. To achieve a damage-free processing of LEDs, appropriate and individual pick and place tools (the nozzles) must be used. The following pages provide information about important parameters that should be considered for LED assembly. Furthermore a recommended nozzle design for each LED in the OSRAM Opto Semiconductors portfolio is given. Authors: Retsch Stefanie / Lang Kurt-Jürgen 2021-06-22 | Document No.: AN037 1 / 21 www.osram.com/os Table of contents A.Pick-and-place process .......................................................................................... 2 B.Overview of recommended nozzle designs ............................................................ 2 A. Pick-and-place process As is the standard for SMT devices, all SMT LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors are designed for an automated pick and place process. To receive optimal process results, it is necessary to set the pick and place machine properly. In the initial production run, it must be ensured that the LED package can be grabbed by the nozzle and sucked out of the tape pocket. Therefore, an appropriate nozzle (pipette or pick-up tool) has to be used. This application note gives an overview on the recommended nozzles and the dimensions. An appropriate nozzle not only ensures a good pick and place process, it also helps to prevent damage to the LED. To avoid any damage during the pick-up process, the pick-up position should be controlled and adjusted during the set-up.

  • (FTO-Free) Graphene Cathode for Co-Mediated Dye-Sensiti
    Low-temperature Fabrication of Highly-Efficient, Optically-Transparent (FTO-free) Graphene Cathode for Co-Mediated Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Acetonitrile-free Electrolyte Solution Ladislav Kavan1,2*, Paul Liska1, Shaik M. Zakeeruddin1 and Michael Graetzel1 1Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces, Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland 2J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, v.v.i., Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Dolejškova 3, CZ-18223 Prague 8, Czech Republic *e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Propionitrile electrolyte solutions mixed with sulfolane or with 1-ethyl 3-methyl imidazolium tetracyanoborate (ionic liquid) are optimized for Co(bpy)3+/Co(bpy)2+-mediated DSCs working at low illumination intensity. Highly-active cathode catalysts based on graphene oxide, either pure or mixed with graphene nanoplatelets or with stacked graphene fibers, can be prepared at temperatures ≤200oC. The catalytic layers are well adhering to the substrates, i.e. to FTO or to stainless-steel surfaces, both the flat steel sheet and the steel wires in woven fabric consisting of transparent polyester (PEN) fibers in warp and stainless steel wires in weft (Sefar B23). The dye- sensitized solar cells with various cathodes, fabricated either from Pt or from optimized graphene-based catalysts, and supported by either FTO or by stainless-steel/PEN fabric show similar solar conversion efficiencies between 6.9 and 7.9 % at 0.25 sun illumination. KEYWORDS: dye sensitized solar cell; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; stainless- steel; woven fabric; Co-mediator 1 1. Introduction The dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) also called the Graetzel cell [1,2] is an efficient, low-cost photovoltaic device achieving competitive parameters on the lab-scale, but its pervasive commercialization still requires some improvements.

The cost reduction, together with transparency as a device feature, will enable a huge penetration of the organic light-emitting device (OLED) technology into the lighting market. This will help European lighting companies to maintain their leadership in this market at worldwide level. One of todays cost drivers for OLED is the substrate cost. Therefore one focus was on the development of low cost substrates. Three low cost substrate techniques were developed.

    Global Sector Review 19 March 2009 SR I a 0 ngle IEW AL V GLOB OPE A EUR FROM Green Buildings & Construction Energy efficiency: the best begins at home Q Cheapest, easiest fight vs. global warming begins at home Globally buildings are responsible for 40% of primary energy use and have the largest potential of any sector for greater energy efficiency and CO2 reduction. Energy use could be reduced up to 80% using a range of conventional technologies like more efficient insulation and windows or heating, cooling and Energy efficiency measures come at little or even a negative cost lighting systems. given the payback on initial investment and ensuing reinvestment as well as the positive economic and employment growth impacts. However, long lifetimes, slow replacement and corporate and stakeholder reticence on initial investment are all important barriers and obstacles. Q The global buildings sector is and is likely to continue to be hit hard by the recession and 2009e and 2010e will be significant challenges for companies in the sector. Reducing cost is thus key in the current economic crisis and building-related energy efficiency helps tackle a broad swathe of challenges including rising energy costs and fuel poverty, maintenance costs for business and ordinary households and long-term energy security. Q Regulation should drive renovation market Increasingly stringent regulations on buildings and energy efficiency, such as the 2009 recast of the EUs EPBD, should result in billions of new capital investments. Stimulus spending should have a positive effect. We have identified some 300-400 billion in global public spending for buildings and construction, the majority of which is efficiency-focused and which should bring forward a number of planned energy efficiency investments and prevent a worst case scenario in the sector, although uncertainties remain as to amounts and timing.

This innovative luminaire provides impressive proof that a superior aesthetic and functionality are complementary. Thanks to the high luminosity of Downsquare, only a few luminaires are needed to fi ll even large spaces with pleasantly bright light. Downsquare’s full cut crystal component radiates an irresistible magic – its over 120 facets give it a timeless elegance. Because there is no frame, the crystal becomes one with the ceiling, creating a unique play with ceiling materials. More than ever before, the luminaire becomes an integral part of the architectural design. Swarovski is treading new ground with Downsquare, opening up entirely new interior-design possibilities to architects and lighting designers. Downsquare is unique both in functionality and aesthetic effect. It can be integrated into the ceiling in a completely new way to become one with the architecture.
